Uncivil Discourse and the Rise of the Outrage Industry

02-07-2007

Description

Join Citizens League board member, Nate Garvis, vice president for Government Affairs at Target Corporation, for an engaging discussion entitled “Uncivil Discourse and the Rise of the Outrage Industry” at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 7 in the McGuire Theater at the Walker Art Center. Nate will offer his perspective on the forces shaping society today, and examine the ways outrage is becoming an industry in and of itself, intent on keeping us angry. The resulting polarization has become a powerful force with social and economic consequences. Going beyond a statement of the problem, Nate will suggest ways to weave ourselves back together so we can tackle today’s complex issues with sustainable results.

Presented in partnership with the Walker Art Center and sponsored by Phillips Distilling Company, this event is free. Intended as an opportunity for people to get to know the Citizens League, we ask that members who plan to attend bring a nonmember as your guest.
